Cammed LS1 E28 Build

[jakeb]

This build has been going for awhile and is actually almost done but wanted to put together a build thread.

I should have taken some pictures before it was painted...it was tiaga (2002 color).

Went back to Lach



All torn apart, VERY clean on the underside


Reinforced front sub frame steering box mount.





Then sent out for powder coat...love a big pile of freshly coated parts



Parts ready to go out to power coat.


Cleaning up the engine bay





Painted wheel wells and all new suspension. H&R sports and billys.

New firewall insulation



Completely rebuilt rear subframe and 3.25LSD




Got some e34 535 rear brakes....repowder coated.


And some massive front brembos




The plan was to put a used LS1 into it after installing a cam but we found that the first cam lobe and lifter was toast. Also bearings were pretty well gone.




So...engine came all apart, new pistons, rings, bearings, all seals, 243 LS6 heads, and 228R cam, LS7 lifters






LS6 intake


belt drive all installed


Remote bleeder and new slave intalled on t56


Modified 98 fbody manifolds


Painted with VHT flame Proof paint


In it goes


Exhaust coming together, 2.5" off manifolds, magnaflow cats, spintech muffler, into magnaflow muffler. Will have a dual out tip (no pic yet)




AC condenser, radiator etc, going in.



More coming soon...
Engine is all wired, fuel system is done, front and rear bumpers are back on, heater hoses all done, VERY close to running and driving.

Absolutely ,,, FANTASTIC,,,,,,,, more than that even!!

i am on my way to do this on an E30,, will use 325 as donor,, but with LS and T56
IMO the LSx is the best engine combo ever built,, amazing engine,, very compact ,,LOT of power available,, for very low cost,, all kinds of parts that cost SO LITTLE,,

i like the ambitious in your work,, cleaning,, painting,, etc etc... no hillbilly work

WELL DONE !!!!!!
